Apple switched from Lightning to USB-C with the iPhone 15. Although this situation upsets many users, it is not actually such a bad innovation. The new port brings various exciting powers to the iPhone 15 models. Such as 10 Gbps transfer feature on iPhone 15 Pro/Max and support for recording videos directly to external storage. It allows you to charge your AirPods and Apple Watch via USB-C. It is also compatible with Android devices via USB-C input.
iPhone 15 can charge Android phones and iPads!
The question of whether anyone has an iPhone 15 charger is now history. Imagine this: You met somewhere with your friends. In your group, you all have various Android phones and iPhones. Let’s say one of you forgot to charge your phone before leaving home and it’s about to turn off. An atmosphere of panic fills the table. Thanks to Apple, there’s no need to worry. You can get help from the Android charger to charge your iPhone 15. Or the opposite is also possible. iPhone and Android doesn’t matter as long as you have a USB-C cable with you. You can charge all compatible devices.
This is just one of those great features to have on hand that can save you from some emergency situations. The first iPhone 15 USB-C experiments also showed that Android phones and iPads can charge the iPhone 15. But Apple has a big problem to solve. There is no way to control the direction of power flow.
We initially assumed Apple would block this. It was thought that the iPhone 15 would only work with compatible Apple hardware. But it didn’t happen that way. The team at PetaPixel ran an experiment to see what would happen. Connected iPhone 15 to Pixel 7. Files were not moved between the two devices. However, one of the two devices was able to charge the other.
iPhone 15 first served as a battery pack. They unplugged the cable several times before things turned around. This time, Pixel 7 charged the iPhone. There’s just one problem. The direction of the current cannot be controlled. Because there is no settings menu on the iPhone to control this type of charging. If you have an iPad, keep it with you. You can use it almost like a powerbank.
